FAREWELL, OLD HOME.


last number of the SUNDAY GLOBE that
will be issued from its old quarters. Inc
next issue will be from the new building,
where the GLOBE will have permanent
habitaton. BY another Sunday the moving
viii all be DONE the housekeeping will be
over, and the GLOBE will be comfortably
located in the finest and most complete
newspaper building in America.
In thking leave of its old quarters the
GLOBE will carry along with it many
pleasant memories of its life there. 1t
was under the roof of this old building the
present management first took charge OF the
GLOBE and made its debut to the public
with promise to make it the best news
paper that had ever been published in the
Northwest The management had conf
depce in its ability to keep that promise,
yet it confesseS that it did have some APP
prehension as to how its efforts
would be received. We were then
comparative strangers to this Sec
ton and its people. We did not
know them then as we do now, or
we would never have been worried with
such groundless fears. The intelligent
constituency whom we came to serve mani
tested generous appreciation far beyond
all expectation. The GLOBE continued to
increase its efforts and facilities to meet the
demands of its constant and rapidly grow
ing patronage, until it found itself too
large for the building it occupied. 1t didn't
have elbow room, and was forced to look
out for more commodious quarters. Then
it determined in measure to repay the
generous public, who had so unstintedly
contributed to its growth and 'upbuilding,
by erecting in the metropolis of the North
west the finest newspaper Office on the con-
tinent.
To-day we go out of the old building into
the new. In taking possession of our ele-
CANT new Office our heart is not so elated
with pride as to make US forget the old
quarters. There are too many ten
der memories clustering around the
old place to forget it. Here is the
here that the little band of faithful workers
have toiled together all the long days. and
still longer nights, to make the GLOBE
what it has grown to be under their united
labors-the pride Of Northwestern journal
ism. The members of our newspaper
family are toilers while all the rest of the
world is sleeping. No matter if these old
walls do look dingy to the eye, they are
luminous with the memories of our labors
and achievements. They are fecked all
over with spots of sunshine, which no
cloud can dim. 1t is from these walls that
the GLOBE has gone out each and every
morning on its welcome visits to the homes
of its thousands and tens of thousands of
patrons. 1t is here in these little rooms we
have been visited by hundreds and thou
sands of kind friends who came to speak
forgotten all these things, nor do we pro-
pose to forget them. They are boarded
away in the GLOBES storehouse of memory
as the richest of its treasures.
ters and in taking possession of the new, is
the GLOBE unmindful of its duties as a
public journal. 1t will continue to be in
all the future as it has been in all the past,
emphatically the paper of the people. 1t
will not only be democratic in the partisan
sense, but it will be democratic in the
broader political sense that whatever per-
tains TO the public welfare will interest the
GLOBE, and whenever the popular cause
needs champion the GLOBE will be in the
van with its sword drawn battling for the
rights Of the people. The GLOBE will
never become tainted with aristocracy even
though it does inhabit princely mansion.
1t will continue to walk with the people,
and will keep its place in the ranks with
the masses. For the memories of the old
homestead will ever be blessed influence
in keeping it true to its grand mission as
THE NEWSPAPER OF THE PEOPLE.
